Friesenheim is one of the ten districts of the city of Ludwigshafen am Rhein .

history

On the occasion of a donation to the Lorsch Abbey , Friesenheim was mentioned in the "Codex Laureshamensis" ( Lorsch Codex ) as early as 771 - the same year as Ruchheim . Around 1555, the Electors of the Palatinate built the Hirschbühl hunting lodge on the Friesenheim district, which was destroyed in 1622 during the Thirty Years War. The alluvial forests, rich in game, were the hunting grounds of Count Palatine Johann Kasimir , who served as a model for the song Der Jäger from Kurpfalz . In the place where the hunting lodge used to be, there are now BASF industrial plants . The former hunting ground was separated after the Rhine was straightened out in the 19th century and is now the Friesenheim Island to the right of the Rhine in the area of ​​the city of Mannheim .

On January 1, 1892, Friesenheim was incorporated into Ludwigshafen.

Quote from the city chronicle

“Today's city of Ludwigshafen am Rhein emerged from the former communities of Friesenheim and Mundenheim, which were already mentioned in a document in ancient times. The place Friesenheim appears for the first time in documents of the Lorsch Monastery, founded in 763 by a Count Cancor, according to which in the 2nd year of Charlemagne (770) - note: the third year, 771 - is correct, the consecrated Hita all of her Has donated possessions to Friesenheim, Weißenheim, Ebertsheim, Mundenheim, Hemsheim and Karlebach to this monastery. In Friesenheim there was a castle and at the same time the place had given its name to a knight family. In 1237, a knight Burkard von Friesenheim made a settlement with the Eusserthal monastery about levies on the monastery property in Schwegenheim and in 1248 also signed a contract with Marquard, the nobleman of Friesenheim. This nobleman continued to appear from 1266 to 1281 as a feudal man of Konrad von Stralenberg zu Schauernheim. In 1269 the sons of Wilhelm von Friesenheim left the goods in Hochheim to a Dirolf von Hochheim and his wife Guda. A Johann von Friesenheim became tenth lord of Mußbach in 1296; In 1304 the knight Konrad von Friesenheim vouched for the purchase of goods in Kleinfischlingen in Eusserthal; Otto von Friesenheim was canon of Mainz in 1396, an Erlandis von Friesenheim appears in 1408 and 1427 as the prioress of the Himmelskron monastery.
In the marriage agreement between Count Palatine Ludwig II and Duke Friedrich zu Lotharingen from 1287, the bride Margaretha, a daughter of Duke Friedrich, including Friesenheim, Burg and Dorf, was retired to Wittum. According to a document from Count Wallrab von Zweibrücken in 1291, Count Palatine Ludwig bought Elmstein Castle for three hundred Cologne marks and assigned the seller 200 Malten Korn annually to the court and tithe in Friesenheim.
The inheritance of the count brothers Friedrich and Jofried zu Leinrogen from 1317 also mentions a castle clay in Friesenheim. Since there is still no trace of this castle, it seems to have been rebuilt in the younger hunting lodge there, which Elector Friedrich Il. had performed at the court of the Hirschbühel in the Palatinate, in order to be relieved of the need to return from the hunting parties on this side to Mannheim, where at that time there was no ship bridge. Elector Friedrich I had lent this court on the Hirschbühl with the adjacent grove of Herrenholz in 1464 to the mayor, aldermen and community of the village, their heirs and descendants, only Elector Philipp liked the court and drew it in 1487 by comparison with the Church in itself again. The following electors also gladly stayed here to practice hunting. In the Thirty Years' War (1618 - 1648) the hunting lodge fell apart completely and was no longer rebuilt. The associated plots of land were given under the name of the large and small estate, along with the cross altar, for the account of the Palatinate Court Chamber.
Today's winning names still remind of the Herrenholz and the hunting lodge : 'Herrenwald' and 'Im Hirschenböhl'. ​​"
